Weeks after a US Senator insulted Nigerians in a bid to mock Obamacare website glitch, another piece has been written, this time by journalist Ann Coulter. In an article titled, 'to speak to a Nigerian Prince about your healthcare, press '1' now', Ann basically says criminals are running the Obamacare website and most of them Nigerians. Her article is quite offensive...excerpts below...
Quote
Nigeria, for example, leads the world in criminal enterprises. Every level of Nigerian society is criminal, with the smart ones running Internet scams, the mid-range ones running car theft rings, and the stupid ones engaging in piracy and kidnapping. At the University of Lagos, you can major in credit card fraud.
There were almost no Nigerians in the United States until the 1970s. Today, there are nearly 250,000 Nigerians in the U.S. (committing the cyber-crime Americans just won't do!). In 2011, we took in more immigrants from Nigeria than from the United Kingdom (9,246 from the U.K. and 9,344 from Nigeria).

Shame but true, Even the Nigerian Government Legalise Fraud.embezzlement,etc. some Nigerians went on the T.V in U.S explaining how they thief money out of the Americans by deceiving them that they use some chemicals to wash money....Government stop stealing,then the citizens will stop chasing shadow.

True but it sounds like Nigerians are on trial before this vile cretin. I don't think any American has the moral credibility to judge Nigerians. We have not dropped atomic bomb on common citizens, gas them or even spy on their friends. As our adage goes; when you point a finger at someone, don't forget that four fingers are simultaneously pointing at you.

Thank you very much...
How can we forget the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima by Americans.
Nigerians did not kill six million Jews during the second world war....

It's true Nigerian are all criminals in all levels
Americans have committed more crimes in this world than Nigerians.
From war crimes to money laundry.... The genocide committed against the American native Indians We can even go back as far as to slavery.. As a matter of they commit crimes in Nigeria everyday through our oil.
Have you forgotten the $250 million bribe paid to Nigerian government by Dick Cheney? I do not condone any form of crime by fellow Nigerians but no one should be apologetic.
Crimes committed by Americans cannot be compared to that of Nigerians..

Except that Americans also commit other heinous crimes including fraud as well. The have also committed the worst crimes in history including slavery and racism. Africans, including Nigerians still suffer the pangs of those crimes today.
